If he re-signs here at a…friendlier and more appropriate contract, I’m fine if he finishes his career here. I’ve always loved the guy and was stoked when he came here, but he’s def not playing up to the contract. But now that he’s not the go to guy anymore I think he can quietly (ok he can’t do quiet) put up respectable numbers again.

i feel like he'd like to stay here - if he ever does part time analysis during summers, being close to the NHL Network office can def help, esp during offseason

well its a start, see what a fishing trip and a good FA signing can do to the psyche

and a birthday celebration! forgot to say happy belated to @JimEIV

A strong and offensive blue line can help take the forward group to the next level, I think our young forwards will prosper thanks to the addition of Dougie as well as a year-older and more experienced Ty Smith.

Tell that to Vegas

petition to change my name to Douglas Entertainment Hamilton now that Trav is gone?

As someone who played a role in your previous name, you have my blessing.

Decided to take a look at the main board. Got threw a page barely and decided it wasnt worth my time. But figured out why its so bad. There are 3 full fan bases upset with him plus the general people who dont like the Devils, and those who think because he has been on 3 teams he's not worth anything. So the odds are stacked against that thread.

For everyone's enjoyment.

3:14, how I'd imagine a Graves-Hamilton pairing would play out. Graves with multiple shot blocks and then Hamilton scores

I get a little pissed off when the beauty of the State is attacked.

Don't worry, you'll see Hughes and Hischier lead the team onto the ice and all your disappointment will come flooding back.

By "here" do you mean Finland?

i mean it would be a rough commute but sure. It’d be a hoot to ride on his private jet!

Holy shit I can’t believe it!!! Signed Hamilton, drafted Luke Hughes and picked up a legit backup goaltender!

Do far a near perfect off-season !!
My dreamworld off-season had Nedljkovic as a goalie and Danault for 3c . Danault was too much $ for what he is . Wennberg was my second want for 3c but he also got more than I thought he would get. Coleman was a want but same as Danault - too much $ and term.
I want Tarasenko in a big way . If not Tarasenko then I’m not sure who else . Meier will be a lot of assets and probably not even available .

 

[Eggtimer]

People actually hate this?

Yes the main board is full of people saying crap like “ Hamilton obviously chased the money and doesn’t care about winning ever as NJ is crap “
Or “ he was carried by Slavin snd Giordano “
“ He is soft and doesn’t play defence “
“ He is over rated and paid way too much , what a ripoff “
“ DeAngelo is better and 8mil cheaper “

 

[JimEIV]

"His 18 PP pts equaled all the Devils Blueliners' PP pts combined"

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I don't even think he sees PP time this year. Rather just let Hamilton have PP1 and Smith PP2.

I've actually been thinking about this and I might want smith and hamilton on pp1, run 2 d-men. Reason being that we don't have a single RH option on the left side outside hamilton. Severson on pp2.

Optimism!

Who are you and what did you do with @JimEIV???

 

[youryeah]

the dougie disdain is crazy on the trade boards lol

 

[Richer's Ghost]

wow now we know why it took so long to hammer out. Crazy maths going on and 10 team limited NTC after 2025.

it's only a bad contract if you have cap issues, which we don't have currently. if we DO have cap issues, that means we've either A.) succeeded into rebuilding a playoff team, because our guys deserve more money or B.) failed at asset management

 

[HyperX]

Im waiting for the press conference.
So far its me and twelve other amigos on the youtube page already

lets go Devils!
